Best Buy Is Wrong

So, recently I've been spending a lot of time at hulu watching Arrested Development (funniest show ever) and Bring It On (best shot movie ever... that cameraman was genius) and there is this ad on there from Best Buy. It's this pretty blonde girl who opens with "Sure, drive-ins may be things of the past..." or something to that effect and goes on to advertise a projector. The first time i saw this ad I wanted to jump through my screen and beat that girl with her projector... Drive-Ins are SO still around, and are SO much fun, and SO much cheaper and better than your average theatre. I know of two near me and one I and my roommate are very loyal to. We go almost every weekend and they always have the big openers on Friday. I promise Drive-Ins are still around and making a comeback. For the most fun you've ever had, find a Drive-In near you and give it a shot. I promise you'll have fun.

You Need To Know What Pandora Is

I've been going on and on in posts about how amazing Pandora is and how you should try it. Well, here is my chance to explain what it is and WHY I love it. Pandora is a website that creates radio stations based on personal taste. I myself have 4 major stations I made from putting in artists I love (Evanescence, BT, Ayumi Hamasaki, Lori... no seriously Lordi). It spits out music from lesser known artists (as well as popular ones. Don't worry your head, mindless trolls) that are similar to those artists and 98% of the time you'll love what it gives you. Seriously, try it out. I made a playlist in iTunes of all the new songs I love that Pandora played for me. Check out my player profile here and sample all my bookmarked songs (click the little 'play' arrow to the left of the song). END! -Dustyn

Firefox 3 Wins

So today was Firefox 3's release (the official release, upgrade your betas, losers!) and I have to say I am enjoying the new interface. I don't notice much on the speed front but I never really had an issue with it. It took a while to get it though, the website was either down or lagging like a bitch all morning.. it was amazing. I have a fair few of tabs open at the moment and one has a big hulking flash ap running (Pandora) and everything is running quite smoothly. And i definitely love the new blue sheen on my bookmarks.. blue is the best color ever. I will definitely keep using Firefox 3 as my main browser but I do want to try Flock... just for fun. I've used Opera, Safari, IE (EWWWW), and something else i cant recall the name for at this time.. but nothing beats Firefox.. nothing. If The Mozilla Org. made an operating system I would so buy it.. in fact I hope they do.. give BOTH Apple and Microsoft a run for their money. SO! www.GetFirefox.com if you already havent! And that's today's post~! Check out my other blog, Gate of Tartarus, if you feel like wasting time. Though it's all about Final Fantasy XI so... you've been warned ^^. Later Gators -Dustyn

Movies Are Spiffy

So recently I have gotten back into my movie watching phase (for a while recently it's been reading/TV) and yesterday I watched Little Miss Sunshine which i know a lot of people loved but i just thought it was 'meh' though the ending was fun and heartwarming. BUT TODAY! Today I watched Be Kind Rewind. It started out kind of weird and slow but once it got going it was really charming. It had a nerdstalgic aura to it as well when they were "sweding" the movies that just appeals to any real movie lover... I mean, who hasn't wanted to remake and star in their favorite film?! Also the underlying dilemma and resolution to it were genuinely humbling. Later today I plan on watching the Disney Pocahontas for nostalgia and a good laugh.
NEW TOPIC! If anyone reads this.. truly, I would like to know! Follow me on twitter @ twitter.com/DustynDW or friend me up on MySpace (which i need to continue updating) @ myspace.com/DustynDragonwolf. SO!, that's all for now. I'll see you guy(s?) tomorrow! Peace~ -Dustyn
